The directories contained in 01_input are as follows:
(A) 01_input_hdf: HDF-4 files containing meteorological output from ARPS-CANOPY model simulations presented in Kiefer et al. (2018), used to drive particle motion in FLEXPART-WRF simulations presented in Kiefer et al. (2023).  In total, the HDF-4 files require 568 GB of storage, 37% less than that of the netCDF files produced by ARPS2FLEX. Additionally, the link to the HDF-4 files provided in Kiefer et al. (2018) is not permanent, further motivatating the inclusion of these files in the Kiefer et al. (2023) dataset.  
(B) 01_input_a2f: ARPS2FLEX program used to convert HDF-4 output from ARPS-CANOPY model into netCDF files readable by FLEXPART-WRF model.  See README file in directory for instructions on compiling the program.
(C) 01_input_scn: Scripts and model namelists used to convert HDF-4 output from ARPS-CANOPY model simulations presented in Kiefer et al. (2018) into netCDF files readable by FLEXPART-WRF, using the ARPS2FLEX program.  Scripts include python routine to combine files output every second of ARPS-CANOPY simulation ("1secDUMP": with subsetted domain and limited suite of variables), and files output every five minutes ("5minDUMP": with full domain and complete suite of variables).
